AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vanbrio Entertainment Inc. today announced the immediate availability of
Bone Act 1: Out from Boneville for the Macintosh. This is the first
installment of an episodic interactive adventure based on Jeff Smith’s
acclaimed Bone series. The Mac version was created in partnership with
Telltale, Inc., who previously published the title for Windows PCs.

The adventure begins with three cousins – Fone
Bone, Phoney Bone and Smiley Bone – who become
separated in a vast, uncharted desert. One by one, they find their way
into a deep, forested valley filled with wonderful and terrifying
creatures and new mysteries that await them. The Bone books have been
hailed by reviewers and educators alike as engaging for all ages.

“The engaging characters and storyline of Jeff
Smith’s Bone series make for a very fun and
family-friendly interactive adventure,” says
Amy Torres, CEO of Vanbrio. “With great
gameplay, beautiful animation and sound, fun puzzles and mini-games, all
wrapped up in an episodic series, we knew Bone: Out from Boneville had
to be on the Mac!”

“We believe the Bone series is the type of
creative and innovative content that is really at home on the Mac. The
team at Vanbrio did a great job in bringing it there,”
added Telltale CEO Dan Connors.
